The MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft : humans and machines in action
Remotely piloted aircraft and the people that control them are changing how the US military operates aircraft and those who fly, yet few know what "drone" operators actually do, why they do what they do, or how they shape and reflect remote air warfare and human-machine relationships. What do the …

Design and evaluation of an achievability contour display for piloted lunar landing
Landing on the moon requires the selection and identification of a location that is level and free of hazards, along with a stable, controlled descent to the lunar surface through the use of automated systems and manual control. Spatial disorientation may occur upon reentering a gravitational field …

Evolution of Flying Qualities Analysis: Problems for a New Generation of Aircraft
… origins to modern day techniques as applied to piloted aircraft. Included in this historical review is the case that was made for the development of flying qualities criteria in the 1940's and 1950's when piloted aircraft became prevalent in the United States military. It is then argued that …

Radiant Auto-Ignition of Wood
Although piloted-ignition is well studied, auto-ignition is not, and under some conditions the latter may initiate the former. For that reason, the dynamics and mechanisms in the auto-ignition of redwood by radiant heating were experimentally studied. An open-cone radiant source heated an insulated …
